If You Had 'Nixon Got a Raw Deal' on Your Bullshit Legal Arguments Bingo Card, Congratulations

Trump's Justice Department tries to re-litigate Watergate in his defense.

The Department of Justice—William Barr, consigliere—was in court Tuesday defending the president*'s right to keep a lid on the grand-jury evidence developed by the Mueller investigation. And the DOJ presented a defense that completed the vast circle of Republican corruption that extends wide enough through history to encompass some tape left on a basement door on a June night in 1972. Spencer Hsu of The Washington Post tweeted out the news.

Trump Justice Dept. asks U.S. judge to reject House Judiciary Committee request for Mueller grand jury materials, argues courts in 1974 wrongly gave Congress the Watergate grand jury 'roadmap' that led to President Nixon's impeachment.

In other words, the Attorney General of the United States is arguing that the Supreme Court of the United States in a unanimous vote screwed Richard Nixon. Just another Republican prisoner of conscience lost to history.
